- US-A-4 534 147 describes a duct molding for mounting cables along a wall or ceiling.
- the ducting is of open-ended construction and does not provide internal cable terminations, so that it is not intended or suitable for mounting light fittings.
- a further object is to provide for such installation in a manner not requiring a conventional recessed junction box.
- a still further object is to provide a lighting fixture having a surface mounted junction box, and a plurality of interchangeable shade-like lamp housings for use therewith.
- Yet another object is to provide means for mounting electrical wiring devices in.a corner of a room catercorner thereto.
- a further object is to provide modified junction boxes and the like designed to fit snugly in room corners in an aesthetic and functional manner, and to provide mounting or adapter means for such boxes, and for other wiring devices.
- an electrical junction box system installed in a corner of a room between two intersecting walls supported by room corner studs said junction box having rear walls including orthogonally related portions shaped to fit snugly in said corner while positioning the junction box symmetrically about the corner bisecting plane, means including apertures in said orthogonally related portions for enabling said junction box to be fastened symmetrically about said bisecting plane to said intersecting walls in said corner with said apertures overlying the room corner studs, fasteners passing through said apertures into said walls, and room corner studs and entry means on said junction box for admitting electric wiring and securing such wiring against separating from said junction box, said junction box having side walls that terminate in straight edges bounding an opening to the junction box and lying in a common plane which plane is located catercorner to said intersecting walls of the room and means for securing to said straight edges means for closing said junction box.
- a mounting system for mounting an electrical wiring device the system being installed in a corner of a room between two intersecting walls supported by room corner studs and comprising a mounting adapter having a cross-section configured and dimensioned to fit in said room corner between said corner and said device and having a surface positioned catercorner to said intersecting walls to which a rear wall of said device is securely fastened to position said device symmetrically about said bisecting plane catercorner to said intersecting walls, said adapter having means receiving fasteners in one or more locations in sufficient proximity to the room corner to secure the adapter to said room corner studs.
- the shade-like lamp housing is designated generally by the numeral 10 and consists essentially of a decorative front panel or panels 11 and a rear panel 12.
- the front panel 11 can be joined to the side edges of the rear panel either by spot welding or riveting or in any other suitable manner.
- the present invention is directed primarily to the construction of the rear panel 12, the junction box and the relationship therebetween. Before further discussing the panel 12 of the fixture, it will be more convenient to consider the junction box 13 shown in detail in Figs. 3 to 6.
- the junction box 13 is formed from a first panel 14 which if laid flat would resemble a tailless airplane.
- the panel 14 has a rectangular body 15 and wings 16 and 17 extending to each side of the body 15, the leading edges, 18 and 19, respectively, of the wings 16 and 17, being swept back slightly and the entire panel 14 being folded at right angles along a line 20 bisecting the body 15 in the longitudinal direction.
- a second panel 21 having a rectangular section 22 joined along its long edge 23 by a fold line to a triangular section 24, is joined to the first panel 14 with the rectangular section 22 joining the outstretched ends of the wings 16 and 17.
- the triangular section 24 is seen to provide a top wall closure for the resulting truncated right triangular prism.
- a screw socket 25 for a bulb is mounted on the rectangular section 22 and extends in front of the junction box 13 angled downwardly as best seen in Fig. 5.
- the socket 25 is provided with the usual connecting wires 26 that pass through an opening in the section 22 into the interior of junction box 13.
- the body section 15 is provided with a plurality of apertures 27 through which nails or screws can be passed for mounting the box 13 to the walls in a corner.
- the sides or wings 16 and 17 of the box 13 are provided with one or more knockouts, such as 28 shown in Fig. 5, for receiving a cable or conduit connector in the usual manner.
- FIG. 4 From Fig. 4 it will be seen that the box 13 is open at the bottom.
- a tab 29 extends from the lower edge 30 of the rectangular section 22 rearwardly, said tab being provided with a screw threaded aperture 31 for receiving a threaded fastener, shown at 36 in Fig. 2.
- a triangular bottom wall panel 33 that is permanently joined to the rear walls of panel 12 along the lower edge 34 of a cut-out 35.
- the cut-out 35 is configured to receive the junction box 13 as best seen in Fig. 2, whereupon the screw fastener 36 can be installed through an aperture 37 (see Fig. 7) in triangular panel 33 into the threaded aperture 31 in tab 29. This simultaneously closes the junction box and secures the lamp housing in position against the walls in the corner.
- the rear fixture panel 12 has two truncated triangular side sections 38 and 39, orthogonally related and joined at the rear by a narrow web that provides a slight amount of clearance for general irregularities in the contour of the corner space in which the fixture is to be mounted.
- the triangular box panel 33 may be provided with flange extensions 40 and 41, best seen in Fig. 10, whereby the panel 33 is secured by rivets or spot welding to the panel 12. With this construction, one configuration of junction box can be used with a variety of lamp housings in which the front panels 11 change from model to model.
- the branch cable is brought out of the wall in the corner of a room or space at the desired height.
- a junction box 13 is then connected to the cable 42 in any known manner and then located in the corner as shown schematically in Fig. 11.
- a few nails through the apertures 27 will secure the junction box in place.
- Appropriate wire connections to the lamp socket 25 will either already have been made or can be made within the box 13. It is now simply a matter of putting the lamp housing in place and installing the screw 36.
- the lower edge of wings 16 and 17 may be rolled over at 43 and 44 to provide added strength to wings 16 and 17 and provide a suitable seat for the cover panel 33.
- the shade-like lamp housing is designated generally by the numeral 100 and consists essentially of a decorative front panel or panels similar to those shown in Fig. 1 but not shown herein, and a rear panel 102.
- the front panel or panels can be joined to the side edges of the rear panel either by spot welding or riveting or in any other suitable manner.
- junction box for this embodiment is shown in detail in Figs. 13, 18, 19 and 20, and is designated generally by the reference numeral 103. It is formed in the shape of an isosceles trapezoidal prism having top and bottom walls, 104 and 105, respectively, side walls 106 and 107, related orthogonally and joined at the rear by a back wall 108.
- the box 103 is open at the front.
- the top panel 104 has a downwardly depending tab 109 provided with a threaded aperture 110 while the bottom wall 105 has an upwardly extending tab 111 with a threaded aperture 112.
- the top wall 104 has a stud or pin 113 secured therein toward the open edge of the wall 104 and projecting into thai interior of the box.
- the lower wall 105 is provided with a threaded aperture 114.
- the box 103 is provided with a plurality of apertures 115 through which nails or screws can be passed for mounting the box 103 to the room walls in a corner.
- the sides 106 and 107 of the box 103 are provided with one or more knockouts, such as that shown at 118 in Fig. 18, for receiving a cable or conduit connector in the usual manner.
- the top and bottom walls can be provided with a polygonal knockout such as that shown at 119 in Fig. 19. This knockout is of the type to accommodate surface mounting conduit, if desired.
- the junction box 103 as described to this point is an open box requiring a cover.
- the cover is in the form of a substantially rectangular shaped panel 120 having top and bottom rearwardly directed flanges 121 and 122 and side edge flanges 123 and 124.
- the flanges 123 and 124 are angled from the panel 120 at a 45° angle and serve to join the wall 120 to the rear wall or panel 102 of the fixture. That is, the front wall 120 of the junction box is permanently joined to the rear walls of panel 102 on either side of a cutout 125.
- the cutout 125 is configured to receive the junction box 103, as best seen in Fig. 14, whereupon a screw fastener 126 (see Fig.
- a screw socket 130 for a bulb is mounted on the rectangular wall 120 and extends in front of the junction box 103 angled downwardly as best seen in Figs. 13 and 14.
- the socket 130 is provided with the usual connecting wires 131 that pass through an opening in the wall 120 to the rear thereof for disposition into the interior of junction box 103.
- a branch cable is brought out of the wall in the corner of a room or space at the desired height as with the first embodiment shown in Fig. 11.
- the junction box 103 is then connected to the cable 42 in any known manner and then located in the corner in the same way as the box 13 in Fig. 11. A few nails through the apertures 115 will secure the junction box in place.
- the lamp fixture can be hung or suspended temporarily from the box 103 by passing the upper section 132 of the rear panel 102 over and behind the tab 111. With the fixture thus suspended, the wires 131 can be connected within the junction box 103 to the incoming wires from cable 42 in the usual manner.
- the opening 125 in the fixture can be fitted over the junction box 103 with the pin 113 being engaged in aperture 128 and the screw fastener 126 being inserted.
- screws can be passed through the front apertures 133 in the wall 120 into the apertures 110 and 112 in the tabs 109 and 111.
- the junction box 103 has a height substantially equal to the distance between the flanges 121 and 122 such that the top and bottom walls 104 and 105 of the junction box, when assembled to the removable wall 120, overlie the flanges 121 and 122, as shown.
- FIG. 21 to 23 For the purpose of illustrating a typical environment encountered in the corner of a room, the drawings show intersecting walls, 201 and 202, secured to corner studs 203, 204 and 205.
- the stud arrangement is typical in that only a narrow vertical strip of wall immediately adjacent a corner 206 is backed by a stud.
- the construction of the novel adapter 207 is such as to enable it to be fastened in the corner 206 by nails or screws passing into either the stud 203 or 204.
- the adapter 207 is in the form of an isosceles trapezoidal prism having side walls 208 and 209, a wide front wall 210 and a narrow rear wall 211 parallel to the front wall 210, with top and bottom walls 212 and 213.
- the walls 212 and 213 can be parallel or non-parallel, planar or non-planar to suit the contours of the box or device to be fastened thereto.
- the adapter 207 is provided with two through bores, 214 and 215, which enter the front wall 210 at an angle, and pass through to the opposite side wall 209 and 208, respectively.
- the side walls 208 and 209 are orthogonally related so as to fit snugly against the room walls 202 and 201, respectively, when the adapter is fastened in the room corner 206.
- the bore 214 is preferably parallel to wall 208 and therefore normal to wall 209.
- bore 215 is parallel to wall 209 and normal to wall 208.
- the adapter is dimensioned relative to the normal stud construction somewhat as shown in Fig. 23 such that nails or screws 216 and 217 will enter either stud 203 or stud 204 to firmly secure the adapter 207 in the corner 206.
- the adapter 207 is provided with two threaded bores 218 and 219 located in wall 210 normal thereto, and with a clearance or locating bore 220.
- a junction box 225 has a rear section 226 behind the phantom line 227 in the form of a right isosceles trapezoidal prism to which is integrally joined a front section 228 in the form of a right rectangular prism.
- the section 226 has orthogonally related side walls 229 and 230, a rear wall 231, an imaginary front boundary at the line 227, and top and bottom wall segments 232 and 233.
- the section 228 has parallel side walls 234 and 235 extending from the side walls 229 and 230, respectively, and top and bottom parallel wall segments 236 and 237.
- the front of the box 225 is normally open and provided with opposite tabs 238 and 239 which each contain a threaded aperture 240, 241.
- the front of box 225 both as to rectangular shape and size as well as tab construction can be conventional such as to be closed, as shown in Fig. 22, by a conventional cover plate 242 with the aid of screws 243 and 244.
- the rear wall 231 is provided with two apertures 245 and 246 intended to register with the bores 218 and 219 in adapter 207 when walls 231 and 210 are brought into engagement. It should be apparent that walls 210 and 231 as shown in the drawings are substantially congruent. This is important in the width dimension but may be varied in the vertical dimension. Suitable screws such as 247 seen in Fig. 23, are used to join box 225 to adapter 207.
- knockouts 248 and 249 are provided in side walls 229 and 230.
- the knockout 249 has been removed and a cable connector 250 of conventional construction installed in the resulting aperture.
- the cable 251 is first brought out of the wall and connected to box 225. Then the box 225 is set in place, snug in the corner, and fastened to adapter 207, already in place.
- the box 225 is preferably provided with a grounding connection in the form of a screw 252 threaded through the back wall 231 midway between the apertures 245 and 246 in line with the latter. Besides functioning as an attachment for the conventional grounding wires, the screw 252 projects beyond the rear wall 231 and functions as a locating pin upon entering the bore 220 in adapter 207.
- the junction box 225 is sized with a conventional forward section 228 adapted to receive standard electrical devices such as sockets and the like and standard cover plates.
- box 260 When a duplex arrangement is desired, a box such as the box 260 in Fig. 24 can be employed. Essentially, the box 260 is equivalent to two boxes 225 stacked one above the other but with a common dividing wall 261. Wall 261 can be omitted if desired.
- the transverse shape of box 260 is the same as that of box 225.
- Box 260 is used with an adapter 263 which, it should be apparent, is an elongated version of adapter 207. Threaded bores 264 and 265 in adapter 263 receive screws (not shown) passed through apertures 266 and 267 in the rear wall of box 260. While adapter 263 does not have a bore similar to the bore 220 in adapter 207, a bore can be provided if desired or necessary to accommodate a grounding screw such as the screw 252 in Fig. 21.
- FIG. 25 and 26 An example of an octagonal box is shown in Figs. 25 and 26, where the box is designated generally by the reference numeral 270.
- the box 270 has a rear portion or segment which in transverse cross-section has an isosceles trapezoidal shape to which is joined a front segment of rectangular shape.
- the box 270 has rear side walls 271 and 272 that are orthogonally related. These are the non-parallel walls of the trapezoidal segment.
- the small wall of the trapezoidal segment is the rear wall 272 provided with apertures 274 and 275 as well as grounding screw 276, corresponding, respectively, to the elements 245, 246 and 252 of Fig. 21.
- the walls 277, 278, 279 and 280 are planar and alternate with curved walls 281, 282, 283 and 284.
- Tabs 285 and 286 are provided at standard spacing such that standard cover plates and other electrical devices can be mounted thereon.
- Knockouts 287 and 288 are provided for bringing in cable or conduit connections.
- Figs. 21 to 26 all make use of an adapter in the form of an isosceles trapezoidal prism. However, it may be preferable to fabricate the adapter from metal sheet stock, examples of which are shown in Figs. 27 to 30 to which attention should now be directed.
- the box is designated generally by the reference numeral 290 in Fig. 27 and 300 in Fig. 29. They differ from the box 225 in Fig. 21 solely in the construction of the rear wall 291 in Fig. 27 and 301 in Fig. 29. Therefore, the description of the remainder of the boxes will not be repeated.
- the mounting system shown therein employs an adapter designated generally by the reference numeral 292 which is formed from a strip of metal sheet stock into a generally right triangular configuration but with the right angled corner at 293 missing such that the perimeter of the adapter 292 has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid with the smaller parallel side missing.
- the widest parallel side or base 294 of the triangle has a horizontally disposed slot 295 when the adapter 292 is placed in a vertical corner of a room.
- Each of the non-parallel sides 296 and 297 of the adapter 292 have a respective aperture, such as the aperture 298 in side 296.
- the side 297 is a mirror image of the side 296 and has a similar aperture although not seen in the drawing.
- the aperture 298 in side 296 as well as the aperture in side 297 are located on a level with and accessible through the slot 295 for driving a fastener through the respective aperture into a corner wall stud.
- the widest parallel side, that is the side 294 of the adapter is provided with means for enabling a junction box or other wiring device to be fastened contiguous thereto.
- the side 294 has a tab 306 struck therefrom as shown and provided with an aperture 307.
- the rear panel 291 of the junction box 290 is provided with a complemental tab 308 which overlaps the tab 306 in the bracket when the junction box 290 is assembled thereto as best seen in Fig. 28.
- a threaded aperture 309 in the wall 291 comes into registration with the aperture 307 in the tab 306 of the adapter 292 to enable a fastener such as a suitable screw 310 to be inserted through aperture 307 in tab 306 into the threaded aperture 309 in the box wall 291 which upon assembly is behind tab 306, all as shown in Fig. 28.
- FIG. 29 A reverse construction is illustrated in the embodiment of Figs. 29 and 30.
- the adapter 320 essentially identical to the adapter 292 but differing therefrom in that the aperture 321 in tab 306 is now tapped rather than a mere through opening.
- the rear wall 301 of the junction box 300 has a tab 322 struck therefrom in a manner opposite to that found in the box 290 of Fig. 27. That is, as seen in Fig. 27 the tab 308 is disposed downwardly whereas in the embodiment of Fig. 29 the tab 322 extends upwardly and is provided with an unthreaded aperture 323.
- a screw 310 passes through the aperture 323 in tab 322 and threads into the aperture 321 in tab 306 to fasten the box to the adapter.
